Yes. And yes!!

Thank you Gina for bringing us all together! :)

Thank you, Lev :) An honor to be reviewed by you!

Congrats, Lev! :)

Sincerest thanks, James! From both me and @mhar4.bsky.social. So grateful for the way you've engaged with the book :)

The book is fairly essayistic and digressive - we wanted to bring that kind of spirit to the writing, since so much of what is written about Taiwan is by necessity direct, compressed, highly empirical and data-driven. So it was a bit of an experiment in style and approach :)

Hello my friend, I have not forgotten you. I just made a small donation. You and your family are in my prayers. I wish only better things going for you all going forward 🙏

Thank you so much for these kind words, Timothy! Mark and I would be honored to have you as a reader 🙂 cc: @mhar4.bsky.social

Thank you so much for the shoutout! Just subscribed to your newsletter as well! :)

Thanks for reading, Graham :) I also hate having one-day-a-week, 3-hour-at-a-time classes. Terrible structure, I would like to have a word with whoever decided that all Taiwanese college classes should be arranged this way :/

Thank you so much, Brian, for having us on the podcast. Grateful to you and your listeners! :)
